Role: 

Addams Family Values

The Family Just Got A Little Stranger. It's love at first sight when Gomez (Raul Julia) and Motricia (Anjelica Huston) welcome a new addition to the Addams Household - Pubert, their soft, cuddly, mustachioed baby boy. As Fester (Christopher Lloyd) falls hard for voluptuous nanny Debbie Jilinsky (Joan Cusack), Wednesday (Christina Ricci) and Pugsley (Jimmy Workman) discover she's a black widow murderess who plans to add Fester to her collection of dead husbands. The family's future grows even bleaker when the no-good nanny marries Fester and has the kids shipped off to summer camp.

Working Girl

Nominated for 6 Academy Awards, director Mike Nichols' witty, romantic look at life in the corporate jungle stars Melanie Griffith as Tess McGill, an ambitious secretary with a unique approach for climbing the ladder to success. When her classy, but villainess boss (Sigourney Weaver) steals her business idea, she seizes an opportunity to steal it back by pretending she has her boss's job, taking over her office, her apartment, even her wardrobe.

School Of Rock

Turbo-charged comic Jack Black shakes School of Rock to its foundations, wailing with born-again metalhead passion as Dewey Finn, a guitarist who gets kicked out of a band because he grandstands too much--or, to put it another way, enjoys himself. Through an intercepted phone call, Finn gets a job as a substitute teacher for a fifth grade class at a private grade school.

Nine Months

In this hilarious comedy about pregnancy, parenthood and panic, Sam (Hugh Grant) has it all: a wonderful girlfriend, a successful child psychology practice and a red Porsche. But all that changes when his girlfriend (Julianne Moore) tells him she's pregnant. Torn between advice from an overbearing couple (Tom Arnold, Joan Cusack), his bachelor buddy (Jeff Goldblum) and a crazy Russian gynecologist (Robin Williams), Sam's got nine months to grow up - or risk losing it all!

My Bodyguard

After years of being sheltered in private school, Clifford Peache finds life difficult at his new Chicago high school, where a tough-talking bully and his pals regularly extort students lunch money. Refusing to pay up, Peache hires a bodyguard, the intimidatingly large class misfit whose rumored violent behavior is legendary. Though everyone else is afraid of him, Peache strikes up a friendship with the troubled loner. Their deepening relationship and unified stand against the thugs manages to rouse the entire school.
